Summary

This work presents a laser-based thermoreflectance technique to measure the real-time change in temperature of a liquid-solid interface when a heated liquid droplet impinges on a transparent substrate. Temperature variation at the interface results in refractive index changes in both the liquid and substrate, which, in turn, cause a reflectivity change at the interface. A 5 mW HeNe laser and a silicon photodiode are used to monitor the real-time reflectivity of the interface. The test and the results obtained are presented.
